    I have a TH350 with a B&M shifter installed and want to run a longer shifter arm. Anyone know if there is a univeral or other option to install a longer arm from the B&M shifter setup?
    I can always make something, but want to see what my options where first.
    Any ideas, let me know. There is a big swapmeet this weekend and I will bring my shifter arm there and see what I can match up, but if anyone has any ideas, let me know and thanks!!!

    And yes, I have checked out he B&M site and that proved to be completely useless.

    Hurst made long arm lever for the mid-60's Mopar bench seat cars. Might work.

    hey Dashman....
    my concern is that the B&M Unimatic shifter shift arm is pretty different from other shift arms as it needs enough room at the end for 3 holes and not the standard 2. Have you ever done any of these for a Unimatic? I really want to do a 22" but just not sure if this will work. I have no issue doing some drilling, tapping, etc. but just not sure if there is enough solid material at the base.

    Let me know and thanks!

    Can you post a pic of how it is mounted? Sometimes a handle bottom is sacrificed to mount a custom shifter to. A steel plate can be welded to it and the handle bolted to it. It may not work in every application but a lot can be done. Often the shifter boot will cover all the carnage and custom mounting that was done.
